The flowers have five egg-shaped sepals fused at the base and five petals fused at the base to form a corolla with two "lips".

The flowers are white, pink or purple, often spotted in the throat. There are four stamens and a single style with two stigmas. The fruit is a capsule usually containing four nuts.
